We need your help... more schools are requesting the program than we can currently provide for.  Unless we receive additional funding, deserving 'at-risk' students will not be able to participate in the Stocks in the Future program next school year.

Studies have shown that the typical Stocks In The Future students attend school almost TWO (2) WEEKS MORE than comparable students not in the program.  They have also shown higher scores on achievement tests and reverse tendencies for high absenteeism exhibited in the 5th grade.  In short, the Stocks In The Future program works to reverse national trends observed with this 'at risk' population.

Here are some giving level suggestions. To support our program, consider these 'investments' in the next generation:

Expert Trader

Stocks in the Future’s 6th grade curriculum centers on the text book “Growing Money,” an investing guide for youngsters.  The textbook is used in combination with a curriculum developed by Johns Hopkins University. These integral elements of the program enhance students’ reading skills and translate complex economic factors into easily understood concepts.  The lessons include fundamentals on savings alternatives, stocks markets, and factors that influence companies going public.  The Expert Trader donor underwrites the distribution of 500 branded text books with their name and/or logo featured.

INVESTMENT: $5,000 for 500 text books

Advanced Trader

The driving incentive for each student is to improve their ‘investment’ in school by improving attendance and grades. Success in our program translates into monetary awards which students invest in publicly-traded stocks that transfer to their names when graduating from high school and turning 18 years old.  The potential earning for each student is $80 a year. The Advanced Trader donor underwrites the earning potential for one class.

INVESTMENT: $2,400 earnings for 30 students

Junior Trader

The Junior Trader donor underwrites school expenses for one student over two (2) years, including: text and work books, business-related games, personal on line portfolios, earning potential of $80 each year and class incentive prizes.

INVESTMENT: $1,000 for one student for two school years.
